Patriarch Tree: We now have a new report that the shooter is NOT in custody, apparently meaning the man we saw getting handcuffed is not the shooter. (JH: Sounding Manchurian to me.)


22. War Room and THAT meal out

21. Charlie Kirk shot at Utah event

(2059) In critical condition.

(2029) Shall see what I can find.

Hannah Nightingale, The Post Millenial: The shooting took place around 12 pm local time. Charlie Kirk has been shot at an event held at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The Utah Valley University stop was part of Kirk’s American Comeback Tour, which is scheduled to hit numerous campuses across the nation in the fall. Video taken at the scene showed the crowd fleeing the area, while another angle appeared to show the moment Kirk was shot. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-charlie-kirk-shot-at-utah-valley-university-event

17. Alexandra and the monster

Imagine a monster, so terrifying and dangerous, that everyone in the village has to be locked in their homes to stay safe. These villagers desire freedom. They’re tired of being trapped. So they start a freedom revolution to slay the monster. After a long struggle – and a lot of lives lost – the monster is cornered and it is decided to imprison the ‘powerless’ and injured monster.

The villagers feel this makes them morally superior in their victory. After all, they’re free now. Why not keep the monster alive in captivity? It’s a good reminder, surely…

Five generations pass. The new villagers don’t remember that it’s like to be prisoners. They don’t know what it is to truly fear something. They see the trapped monster as a victim. They believe in freedom so deeply (as an abstract idea) that they start activist campaigns to liberate the monster and set it free so it can frolic peacefully in the wilderness.

A few historians try to warn them about what happened last time, but the young know better. Those old stories are lies, they say. And they have them re-written to paint the monster as a misunderstood creature that was wrongly attacked by medieval peasants.

And so after endless protests, the monster is set free. It turns around and eats the useful idiots holding open the cage doors and then chases the villagers back into their homes until every door is locked and every person is trapped by their self-inflected mistake. To have freedom for the village, the monster must be enslaved.

This will always be true.

16. Hearts of Oak

There’s an issue here … it’s Malone (see navbar Other above where we watch him). I’ll run it here with that proviso.

Wed Mat

 


Sounds great for a rainy afternoon of hokum:

“This one is really bad yet it was fun to watch. It is a story about time travel with an absurd plot, a dreary script, a hokey set, illogical actions, and a strange and bizarre ending. Nevertheless, it was fun to watch. I purchased it on a two sided DVD with H.G. Wells “Things to Come” on the other side. This movie too is strange, but it was worth buying. What is worth noting is that the actor who plays “Doc” Gordon in Journey is also in “Things to Come” as the Jew.

If you enjoy hokey science fiction this is worth looking at.”

Wednesday [11 to 15]

(1157) Almost afternoon all. (1315)

 

15. Parody?


14. We may have had this one recently

… never mind.


13. Tale of two traitors


Flag in the second is Oz, not NZ. Wonder if NZers are still under its spell. Or Scots too in their case.

12. Not much for me to add here


11. Steve B’s chart of the day

… I was a couple of years too late, surprised it was when it was.

Wednesday [6 to 10]

10. Hermer and the gangs


9. A bizarre evening meal


8. Meanwhile, back in Blighty


7. Pharma PPPs?


6. Wasp watch from Isilme

Yes, the wasps are still with us. The powder that was supposed to be certain death did not work. Today we bought wasp killer spray. My Beloved sprayed it like crazy into the hole. I was indoors, and as he sprayed I heard behind the panelling a huge angry buzz! I shouted at Beloved to run, which he didn’t do. He just sauntered away. Fortunately, in spite of my visions of an angry swarm chasing after him, the wasps stayed put.

Nasty wasp below the screw

Fortunately, in spite of my visions of an angry swarm chasing after him, the wasps stayed put. Either they were totally unaware of where the horrible death spray had come from, or they were overwhelmed with death. I have heard nothing more. It is eerily silent.

Nasty wasp exiting hole above screw

Right now, I can’t be bothered to check. I’m drinking tea and eating biscuits, which seems like a very English response. And I found I did have photos of the wasps. I zoomed in and found I’d managed to catch a photo or two.

Wednesday [2 to 5]

(0754) Morning all. (0854)

 

5. On Rupert, Ben and September 13th


Julia Hartley-Brewer weighed in, insulting Ben Habib, telling a flat out lie as well. GB News have shadow banned Advance. The agenda is clearly that Farage Yusuf storm to victory, on the backs of the very country-loyal, so anti-Uniparty, our type … that’s the dark joke.


4. Emerald

I’ve gathered hers together today as she covers a range of topics … remembering thst my bsnning from Dorsey’s Twitter was due to retweeting her piece on Fentanyl Floyd:


3. To keep returning to “cui bono”

… aim of Them, the real Them, not just the puppets doing their bidding? Well obviously to get us killing off the blacks and death cult for them, save them the job.

Round up the prime movers after that, disappear them, then move in for the real kill on leaderless people, Orcs on Eloi. Anyone for the Wat Tyler role in a more Richard II sense?

2. DAD at 1150

a) Another ‘lamb’ to the slaughter. Rather than allowing French voters to select their next government, President Macron appointed another loyalist to the Hôtel Matignon just hours after receiving the resignation of Prime Minister François Bayrou.

b) On Monday evening, during the 6 p.m. Mass, the Feast of the Nativity of Mary, the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Help was vandalized with the burning of the Virgin and Child. 

c) Pig heads were discovered on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, in front of the entrance to at least nine mosques in Île-de-France, in Paris, also …..

d) Trust in the European Commission and its president, Ursula von der Leyen, has significantly faltered, according to a new survey from the European Public Opinion Barometer conducted by Cluster17.

Wednesday [1]

(0417) Planning to restart blogging today around 0900. (0556)

 

Going to open with this:


Quite agree, quite concur … just as we cannot move on from Lola and Ruby Moir, plus Tayah Sommers. You have an inkling already in Tue 20 here or anywhere else on responsible soc-med but not Woke left … and especially not in any of the MSM until the Telegrah and Wail over here did finally give it a mention.

It has now been spoken on by DJT, JDV and Karoline L who just tore strips off the MS press for their behaviour … first ignoring, then misrepresenting the tragedy.


But why now, why last evening around 2200 our time? The reason is that the full footage of the murder and the utter indifference of other passengers caused one of the girl victims here, herself, to post:


That of course can cut both ways … it could mean that even this post is not reality … or it could mean that people are not seeing what goes on around them. How did this Iryna have no sense of danger? One clue is a shot of her bedroom and behind her is a BLM flag … think you get the drift.

But back to why this post, now at 0431 our time … why this from me last evening:


What changed from just generally seething to feeling physically ill? This helps understand it:


The difference, therefore, is that the footage had the actual murder and how she was abandoned by everyone there in other seats … they got out of there aqap, even though the murderer had already gone. It was that act of total incivility, not helped by the demographic of the other passengers on the whole, which prevented any chance of keeping her alive.

Now yes … we have had that issue here as well over the months and years … do I post that which cannot be unseen, the sheer depravity … wallow in it … then unable to continue that day or for weeks … or worse, become slowly inured to it?

The greatest condemnation, after the behaviour of the passengers, was this:


Disagree … they need summarily executing, once there’s no doubt. Others started to post on it:


This reaction is by a girl rape victim:


The press were disgusting:


That lady is Norwegian … more from her:


And from a Swede:


More:


Coming back to the essential difference between last evening, say at 2145 and 2215 is the full footage hit soc-med from nowhere … at least someone posted it. Clearly, it moved people, inc. me, from politically seething, which the distant stills and shortened footage had triggered … to sheer nausea in the space of half an hour.

Another way of looking at that is that her death had not had “the required effect on the population” as yet, not the sheer outrage of later.

So someone had made that decision to release that full footage … someone inside and high up.

Trouble is … that could be those of the MAGA right or WH … yes, possible, in order to get legislation and EOs in place … or it could have been the demonrats themselves trying to outrage their base against the “firestorm far right” … yes, possible.

Or it could be the string pullers themselves, well above DJT and the demonrats … the ones who actually do make such decisions and agendas, e.g. conflagration, depressions, depopulation … using communism/fascism/whatever as the tools.

And of course collateral damage. For example, I was engaged in a battering of myself right at that time, which would not have gone much further, methinks, except that suddenly, I lost the capacity to fight that other battle in the nausea over this.

There are many, many players in the field right now and one is an ancient people from the middle-east, its honchos dispersed around the west. We can trust no one just now … no one demographic … completely.

911 comes up tomorrow. Some of you might recall, in all the ferreting we all did, that there was an element of placing very dangerous people, with form, in uncontrolled situations, free to move around, to do their worst. Not strictly run by the agencies but certainly monitored all the way, ready to switch off air defences for example, at the crucial monent, switch off CCTV, jam communications … going back to 1963, telling security men to stand down seconds before entering Dealey Plaza. Or “pulling” WTC7, as Silverstein put it in 2001 on the day.

Coordinated. Atrocity. Coordinated. Imagine a mind which can do that with impunity. …/END for the moment. I need a break before any more blogging.

20. The Ukrainian girl

It’s blown up in the US and these isles, POTUS, VP, Press Sec have all put strong views … the full footage of her killing has been released … barring two on another topic, these are screenshots for tomorrow morning, way too exhausted to address it now:

19. A tale of various sleazebags

… exposed by Toodles. Now, I’m using the WH pic, embedded, rather than YT thumbnails of the sleazebags themselves … after all, it’s dinnertime here.


18. Mad Millipede again


17. They can sod off


16. We might finally be getting somewhere


15. Steve B’s chart quiz

Initial thought was 1968, know Maggie May was before 1973 … somewhere in there. Riders on the Storm might be the giveaway.


14. Sgt Michael Gausman on Quora

“1932, Jerome Howard (soon to be universally known as “Curly”) joined The Three Stooges comedy team. He was replacing his older brother, Shemp, as the third Stooge, joining his older brother Moe and frizzly haired Larry Fine.

In 1934, the team signed with Columbia Pictures and began churning out the series of comedy slapstick shorts that brought hilarity to the world. Within a year, Curly had established himself as the comedy star of the act. His “woo-woo”s and “n’yuk nyuk”s, as well as his incredible gift for physical, inventive, surreal comedy, made Curly Howard everyone’s favorite Stooge.

From 1934 to 1944, Curly Howard and the other Stooges made 80-odd of the funniest shorts in the history of movie comedy, but by 1945 something was obviously wrong with the brilliant Curly.

Although he was always a bad study, he was having a harder time than usual learning and remember his lines, his once graceful and quick movements now seemed slower and more lethargic, and his voice had lost its high-pitched vitality, now sounding deeper and more like a strained croak.

In early 1945, Moe Howard made an appointment for his kid brother at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. The test results proved shocking: Curly was suffering from high blood pressure, hypertension, a retinal hemorrhage, and obesity.

Then came the failed marriage. Curly loved the good life—drinking, hanging out at clubs, seeing and dating as many beautiful women as possible. Moe, attempting to help his beloved brother settle down, tried to fix Curly up with a glamorous beauty named Marion Buxbaum. Always a sucker for a pretty face, Curly married Marion after only two weeks. Curly was soon to discover that Marion was not a very nice person and was only after his money.

The marriage proved a disaster, and the unhappy couple divorced after only three months together. In the terrible divorce proceedings, Marion said of Curly: “He used filthy, vile language, kept two vicious dogs, he shouted at waiters in cafes, struck and kicked me, put out cigars in the sink.”

These specious accusations were disputed by all who knew Curly as a jovial, good-natured, good-hearted fellow. Curly, always a free spender, had spent a fortune buying gifts for Marion, and the divorce really shook him up. He had his first stroke soon thereafter, in early 1946.

The aftermath following that stroke was that Curly’s great vigor and boyish vitality, his comedy trademarks, sank lower and lower. Instead of enabling Curly to rest after his stroke, as Moe requested, studio head Harry Cohn kept Curly churning out new Three Stooges shorts. Sadly, these final Curly shorts show him looking very old and worn, his previously starring roles greatly reduced, and, indeed, they put a bit of a black mark on his body of otherwise amazing comedy performances.

Curly’s appearance grew worse until finally, while filming his 97th Three Stooges short, “Half Wit’s Holiday,” on May 6, 1946, the straw finally broke the camel’s back. Curly was supposed to participate in the film’s final, climactic pie fight, but Moe spotted Curly sitting in his chair on the set. “Come on, Babe,” he said. (“Babe” was Curly’s nickname among his close friends.)

Moe found Curly slumped over in his chair with tears running down his face; Curly had suffered another stroke. He was taken to recover to the Motion Picture Country Home and Hospital, his career as a Stooge now effectively over. He was replaced in the act by older brother Shemp.

Curly finally got a happy break in 1947, when he met an attractive brunette named Valerie Newman. The two fell in love and married on July 31, 1947. Valerie was to bear Curly a daughter, Janie, the following year. She truly loved Curly and stuck by his side, through his constant downhill ride over the next few years, feeding and even bathing him as his health continued its slow deterioration in the late 1940s.

After his second stroke, Curly was confined to a wheelchair, but soon recovered enough to move around. During the days of Curly’s slightly improved health, he made a cameo appearance in a Three Stooges short (with his replacement, Shemp) called “Hold That Lion!” Moe, knowing Curly was frail, made sure the set was cleared of all but the absolutely necessary actors and technicians, in order to take any pressure off his brother.

Curly, a brilliant comedian to the end, acquits himself quite well in his brief appearance, coming across as very funny, even doing his trademark “woo-woo-woo” sound effects. This brief cameo was to be the only recorded instance of the three Howard brothers—Moe, Curly, and Shemp—appearing together on film.”

Not my usual stomping ground, I keep it on for readers who like human interest stories, for example this:

“In 2009, famous Italian freediver Enzo Maiorca was diving with his daughter Rossana near the coast of Syracuse when something truly special happened.

As he was going deeper into the water, Enzo suddenly felt a soft tap on his back. When he turned around, he saw a dolphin—not there to play, but clearly asking for help.

The dolphin swam down, and Enzo followed. About 15 meters below the surface, they found another dolphin stuck in an old fishing net. Without wasting a moment, Enzo called to his daughter for a knife and carefully cut the net to free the dolphin.

As soon as it was free, the dolphin made a sound Enzo later described as “almost like a human cry.”

When they all reached the surface, Enzo and Rossana saw that the dolphin was a pregnant female—and just moments later, she gave birth right there in the open sea.

The male dolphin circled around them, then gently came up to Enzo, touched his cheek with its nose—like a soft kiss—and then swam away with his new little family.

Later, Enzo shared his thoughts:

“Until people learn to respect and communicate with the natural world, they’ll never truly understand their place on this planet.””

Was wondering if this was the same plot as the later, eponymous Rathbone vehicle … seems not.

“Lloyd Nolan brightens up the screen as investigator Michael Shayne in “Dressed to Kill” from 1941.

While picking up his fiancé (Mary Beth Hughes) from her residential hotel so that they can finally get married, Shayne hears a scream from upstairs. Racing up there, he finds two people sitting at a dining table in costume and quite dead.

Eventually Shayne is led to a play done years earlier by the victims and begins looking at the other performers. Meanwhile, he’s constantly tripping over both his angry fiancé and Police Inspector Pierson (William Demarest).

There’s lots of comedy in this B movie, mostly provided by Demarest, who is one-upped every time by Shayne. The acting is terrific, with some really neat character actors: Virginia Brissac, Erwin Kaiser, Henry Daniel, and Mantan Moreland. Though in a stereotyped role, Moreland shows his talent as he does in the Charlie Chan films, this time even going into a dance.”
